How to put dxDrawText to an object

[2kristof2]

Hello,

I created this thread because I'd love to know how to put a text to an object. It can be for example clock or something like that https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=68962.

I know that I have to use a shader for that. I'm not sure but I think I should use this very simple one:

  
texture gTexture; 
  
technique TexReplace 
{ 
    pass P0 
    { 
        Texture[0] = gTexture; 
    } 
} 
  

I've read some about functions I probably need: dxSetRenderTarget, dxSetShaderValue, engineApplyShaderToWorldTexture etc and I've even made a texture with a text but I have no idea how to make it changing (onClientRender I guess).

Any help is appreciated

Please guys, I need a simple example which shows how it works, something what changes its value for intance countdown - the script displayes numbers 3..2..1.. every second.

Are you looking for this dxDrawTextOnElement?

Thx for the reply. It's not really what i was looking for. I want to make it by using a shader because it allows me drawing dx images rectangles etc as well
